The snow fell all night. It was light snow, and it was dry and powdery with wind. I guess we got an additional two or three inches overnight and it has been snowing most of the afternoon. This time, though, it’s the more normal big dendritic snow that I am used to. It seems that’s what you get when the temperatures are right around freezing while the snow last night is typical of much colder areas. At least that’s what Cliff Mass says.

I am about to give up on SmugMug. This is the second time in the last three days that I have run into downtime. The SmugMug Status Updates blog doesn’t say anything about it but they’re still set to a read-only mode that doesn’t let people log in.

So I put all the snow pictures that I had been loading to SmugMug in a set on Flickr. The presentation is so much nicer on SmugMug but Flickr is far more reliable. And reliability wins over presentation every time.

But I like getting the 600-pixel pictures (I can get either 500-pixel or 1024-pixel files from Flickr) so I’m also experimenting with hosting the picture here on my blog with a link to the hosting site.

If any of you who read the blog have any preferences about SmugMug vs. Flickr, I would love to hear from you.
